Product Information
Full details
The Vogue Double Boiler Pan is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks who frequently work with delicate ingredients like chocolate, custards, or intricate emulsions. Its primary benefit is the gentle, indirect heat distribution that eliminates the risk of burning or curdling, though users should note that its 4-liter capacity requires sufficient storage space in your kitchen cupboards.

FAQs
Can this pan be used on an induction cooktop?
Yes, provided the base material is compatible with induction heat. Always check the base stamp to confirm.
Is it safe to put this in the dishwasher?
While it can be cleaned in a dishwasher, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the finish.
How much water should I put in the bottom?
Fill the bottom pot about halfway, ensuring the top vessel does not touch the water surface directly.
What is the total diameter of the unit?
The diameter of the pan is 224mm.
Can I use this for non-delicate items like boiling pasta?
While technically possible, it is designed for indirect heat. Using it for direct boiling may not be as efficient as a standard pot.
Troubleshooting
Water in the base is evaporating too quickly
Lower the heat setting on your stovetop; you only need a gentle simmer to create sufficient steam.
Steam is escaping from the sides
Ensure the top pan is properly seated on the rim of the bottom pot for a secure seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Vogue Double Boiler, fill the bottom section with enough water to create steam without allowing the water to touch the base of the upper container. Place it on a stove top at a low to medium heat setting. After each use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. Ensure the unit is completely dry before nesting the two pieces for storage to prevent moisture buildup.
